I had a wonderful and all-around pleasant experience during my donation process. All of the staff is extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and kind. I am grateful to all of the staff and Octapharma Plasma as a whole for what they are doing in the medical community. I will be wholeheartedly recommending them to all of my friends and family

Firstly I hate needles, don’t even like going to the doctor . I always feel like I’m getting a tooth pulled so for me to rate this place with 5 stars is because I was actually able to have peace there . The staff was so nice ! I really felt like they cared about informing me about the process each step of the way. They checked on me several times during the donation process. I felt that I was good hands. I also felt really empowered and informed about how my donation was making a difference. They made sure I was comfortable and aware every step. Thank you so much even for the laughs and easing me up. I definitely am tense about needles! Great experience so I went back for a second time and received the same type of treatment. They rock !

Always quick in and out. Staff are polite and professional. I'm a hard stick and not once has there been an issue here. Highly recommend this spot for donation.

My first-time going to Octsphsrma Plasma & my experience was overall a great one. The staff was very professional and very attentive throught my visit. The orientation, the physical, the blood drawn and explanations of procedures were to the T.

Erik Brown | Aug 27, 2021

You will need to register with this facility, but as you are in the system the process should be easy.

Do the plasma centers pay you the same amount? Or does one pay more than the other? Octapharma & Grifols

andrew calderon | Aug 27, 2020
Tonya Rios | Aug 27, 2020

Grifol PAYS MORE but that's to get you to come there. Then when it's time to pay your bonuses they all of a sudden have a problem with your iron or protein. So you will basically only get the smaller money. Griflo has terribly rude unfriendly people who work there. I Love , love LOVE OCTAPHARMA THEY ARE THE BEST TO ME😍❣

How long after you have a baby can you donate?

Nh Lc | Aug 28, 2018
Andrew | Aug 28, 2018

I'm don't know but I would be careful if I were you, that could be a risk on your motor functions and it would be difficult to juggle this and a newborn at the same time. I have some pointers to mention, hope this helps. Breastfeeding and plasma both have necessary nutrients and proteins your child and yourself need to function properly. You cannot be malnourished or be dehydrated in any way when you donate. I don't see a reason why you shouldn't donate though. Please do not hesitate to ask about your concerns, they want your experience to be easy as possible. As long as you have a good Meal at least 30 minutes before the 2 hours after you eat, you should be ok. A cool rinse in the shower would do you good especially in hot days like this month. Good Luck!

What's the qualifications to donate and how much do you get????

keshun tate | Jun 28, 2022
Timothy Gibbons | Jun 28, 2022

There is a list of questions that they ask at the start of each visit. As long as you aren't taking certain medicines, are in good health, and some other things you can donate. You earn based on a tier system, something like 40 to 70 based on weight. The first 7 times are 100 each during the first 35 days, though.

Can you donate plasma only with an ITIN number?

flash Doble E | May 29, 2022

Peter Gillette | Aug 27, 2021

You go on the website and you fill out your information ahead of time. I'm not sure how it works with brand new patients but if you are a returning patient it allows you to skip the first line with the machines.

I don't think so because you have to be able to get up on to the chairs with no problem. A person I know just got turned down for that reason he couldn't get up on the examination bed for the physical so he didn't qualify. But your always welcome to try every situation is different.

If i dont know Jack-sh*t about my health can i still go and try to donate? Will i be charged to be tested so they can check if im able to donate? As far as i know im overweight and not a healthy eater.

Adan Cruz | Aug 28, 2019
Todd D Newkirk | Aug 28, 2019

they will check you out on site. your better being over weight than skinny. i donate often and eat fast food all the time. and ice cream. the only possible issue might be if you have LIPIC PLASMA meaning (high fat level) which makes it difficult for the machine to seperate the plasma from the blood.

As a new donor the payments schedule is?my weight is 198

Jonathan Buitron | Aug 28, 2019
Christopher Del Rosario | Aug 28, 2019

Unless it's changed recently, payments are as follows: $75, $50, $50, $50, $75. Bonuses for December are: 4th donation of the month gets $40 and 8th donation gets $35. Remember, as a new donor you'll need to show valid ID, SSC, and proof of address (usually recent mail). For addresses hotel/motel addresses and any type of communal housing are not acceptable addresses.

How much is the pay the first five times?

Christopher Diaz | Aug 28, 2019
Seth Williams | Aug 28, 2019

$75, $50, $50, $59, $75 Then usually $30 for each for first donation of the week thereafter, but the second ranges from $45-$65 usually, depending on Ictaoharna decides the “bonus” for the second donation of each week is for that month👍🏽

So just to be clear here how much they pay you for being a 1st time blood donor?

Ana Rosee | Aug 28, 2019
Christopher Del Rosario | Aug 28, 2019

First-time donor first donation $75 second third and fourth donation $50 and 5th donation $75. on your initial donation plan on being here 3 to 4 hours for physical screening and what not. Good luck.

How long do first time patients wait for the whole proccess?

Katie Ortega | Aug 28, 2019
Christopher Del Rosario | Aug 28, 2019

New donors take about 3-4 hours for the total process on their first visit. There's a bunch of questions, medical screening, and a physical. Keep in mind, however, the later in the day you come you risk the process taking so much longer because it gets really busy especially towards the end of the month. Good luck soldier. 😎😎😎

do I have to pay taxes on the money I make from selling plasma? Is it reported money?

Bunny Hart | Aug 28, 2018
Seth Williams | Aug 28, 2019

My guess would be not. I don’t think the government would no about your donation money unless you reported it. Perhaps you would have to tell them if your total income (including your donation money) for the year was over the threshold where you have to pay money back to them. But even then I don’t think he would have to report it as I’m not sure how they would find out you were a donor as I think that fall under HIPAA protection.

Will your donor fee be the same , even if you haven't donated here for 6 months? I haven't been going since I live in Long Beach. So, I am just curious. Also, thank you to anyone for answering my question.

J P | Aug 28, 2018
Jonathan Smith | Aug 28, 2018

Actually, after a three month absence from the Octa, previous donors are required to register through the same initial process, which also means that the payments also refresh to offer the new donors bonuses. Nice loophole, eh? Your question is a bit vague. Um, the donation is the plasma and the volume collected is fixed, so that, of course, will be the same as you've ever experienced. I hope this covers the intentions of your question.

They will find out and you'd get banned from donating everywhere. To protect a donors' health and minimize risk of donating more often than is permitted, donors are not allowed to donate at more than one center. All plasma donation centers communicate regularly with one another to verify that donors comply with policy.
